GASOLENE-LAMP.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALMoN B. LEE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Big Rapids, in the county of Mecost-a and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Gasolene-Lamp; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention pertains to a new and useful hydro-carbon incandescent lamp, and the main object of the invention is the production of an inverted gasolene lamp of this character, which may be utilized in any place, as desired, in lieu of an ordinary gas lamp.
This lamp is especially adapted for lighting halls, stores, residences, and any other place where a permanent lamp fixture is applicable; this lamp may be attached to any suitable conduit, or any other hollow piping.
Another object of they invention, is the provision of a lamp of .this design, and so constructed, as to increase the lighting power of lamps of this character, and for the least possible cost.
The illumination obtained from a lamp of this design exists approximately fifty hours from one gallon of ordinary gasolene.
A lamp of this design generates its own gas, and automatically `mixes, it with the proper amount of oxygen or cool air, which is drawn into the mixing chamber or burner tube; the mixed gas and oxygen is then forced through the screens to the burner and mantle, where it may be ignited, in order to obtain the proper light.
A further object is vto provide a generator tip, so constructed, as to prevent the gas orifice (which is very small) from becoming clogged, thereby eliminating the source of annoyance common in other makes of gasolene lamps.
A further object of the invention, resides in filtering the gasolene, before the same reaches the generator tip, and its orifice.
This invention comprises further objects, which will be hereinafter more fully described, shown in the drawings, and the novel features thereof will be pointed out by the appended claims.
In the drawing there is disclosed a sectional view through the improved hydrocarbon incandescent gasolene lamp, which Specicaton of Letters Patent.

illustrates the essential features of the invention.
Referring to the illustration 1 denotes a valve casing having the usual needle valve 2, which cooperates with the seat 3, in order to regulate the supply of gasolene to the lamp. This valve casing is connected to the gasolene supply pipe 4, which may receive the gasolene from any suitable source of supply (not shown). Extending through this valve casing 1 are bores 5, one located below the valve seat 3 and one above it, as clearly shown. The bore above` the valve seat is disposed upon an incline, in order that the mouth 6 thereof may be closed by the valve 2.
Threaded into the lower portion of the valve casing 1 is a pipe or tubing 7, the portion 8 of which is used as the generator or retort 9, as will be clearly apparent. Surrounding the pipe 7 is an annular flanged ring 10, which supports the cap or shade 11, the purpose of4 which being to mnttle or confiner the heat rising from the iiame at the mantle 12, about the generator or retort. The generating chamber 18 of the generator, has contained therein a loose packing of asbestos 14, which performs the function of a strainer or filter, through which the gasolene passes before reaching the parts below it. This asbestos packing 14 rests upon the meshwork or screen 15, below which the dome-shaped mesh work or screen 16 is disposed. This dome-shaped mesh-work or screen is carried by the lower peripheral end of the generator pipe 7, as clearly shown. Between the screen or meshwork 16 and the dome-shaped mesh work or screen is a loose asbestos packing 17, the function of which being similar to the packn ing 14. This domeshaped mesh-work or screen acts as a covering, as well as surrounding the tube and the cap 18 and 19. The tube 1S is hollow and open ended, the lower half 20 of which being slightly tapered as shown, for obvious reasons. The tube 18 is telescopically received by the 'cap 19, as clearly shown, the closed end of which cap rests upon the upper portion of the said tube. The function of the cap is to absolutely prevent any sediment from entering the tube 1S and passing on through the gas orifice 21 of the generator tip Q2. This generator tip is connected to the lower end of the generating pipe by means of suitable threads 23. Disposed in the hollow portions 2st of the tip, below the extremity of the generating pipe 7, and partially surrounding the cap 19 is a loose asbestos packing 25, the function of which being to filter the gasolene. The lower tapered half of the tube 18 is telescopically received by the bore 2G of the generator tip, as clearly shown. The pressure of the gas which emanates from the generating chainber is sufficient to force by the tube and cap 18 and 19, (which are loosely disposed in the tip,) in order to pass through the orifice 21.
The burner pipe. or tube 27 is connected to the lower extremity of' the tip Q2 by suitable threads 2S, as clearly shown. rlhe burner pipe or tube has formed in its circumference openings or apertures 2S), which are disposed directly opposite one another. Extending through these openings or apertures 29 is a transversely disposed pipe or tube 3U, which is provided with openings er apertures 3l, the axes of which are directly at right angles to those of the apertures or openings 29. The outer ends ot the pipe or tube 30 are secured by any suitable means, preferably brazing, to the annular flanged ring 32, in order to support the same and the globe 33, which is supported by means of the thumb screws These thumb screws Si engage under the annular rolled fiange 35 of the globe. This globe is provided with a series of openings 3G, in order to allow air to pass therethrough, thereby forcing the heat up and under the shade 11. The generator tip is provided. with a restricted portion 37 (through which the orifice 21 is formed), which restricted portion extends into one of the openings or apertures 31, in order to prevent displacement of the pipe or tube 30, as will be clearlynnderstood.
The lower threaded portion 3S of' the burner pipe or tube has connected thereto a sleeve 39. This sleeve 39 has an annular flange 40, which limits the movement of the annular ring 41, which carries the mantle 12. Thesleeve 39 is provided with a screen or mesh-work 43, while the ring el is provided with a similar screen or mesh-work Llll. These screens -l and al are for the purpose of preventing particles of foreign matter (which may be drawn in with the cool air or oxygen) from entering the mantle, thereby obviating any possibilit-y of hindering the illumination at the mantle. The annular flanged ring is provided with a plurality of apertures 45, the functions of' which being similar to the apertures or openings 36 ot the globe.
L16 denotes an alcohol cup, which is carried by the upper portion of the burner pipe or tube 27, and which surrounds the generator tip 22. This alcohol cup may be lighted, in order to provide heat, by which the gas is generated, before igniting the lamp. The securing of this cup approximately at the base of the generator, is to insure a more complete generation of gas, thereby preventing the blazing up of the gasolene, when the lainp is first lighted. its the gas from the generator descends, the saine draws the oxygen or air through the pipe or tube 30, and thoroughly mixes in `the mixing chamber l), after which the combined gases and oxygen descend to the mantle, where the saine are ignited. ythe heat ascending trom the mantle and the generator tip prevents the cooling off of the generator, should the lamp be suspended in a draft of air, thereby avoiding iiclrering or unsteadiness of the light.
From the foregoing, the essential features, elements and the operation of the device, together with the simplicity thereof will. be clearly apparent.
